    We have received reports that the version of mirror as distributed in
    Debian GNU/Linux 2.1 could be remotely exploited. When mirroring a
    remote site the remote site could use filename-constructions like " .."
    that would case mirror to work one level above the target directory for
    the mirrored files.
    
    This has been fixed in mirror version 2.9-2.1 .
    
    We recommend you upgrade your mirror package immediately.
    
    wget url
            will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
            will install the referenced file.
